Key HighlightsThe Chilean packaging industry is witnessing a varying demand in product packaging from both the young and older population. While the young population demands on-the-go packs and packs with attractive packaging and high-visual appeal, the older population demands easy-to-open, convenient, and easy-to-handle package types.

An increase in FDI will encourage Chilean local and regional CPG manufacturers to introduce better quality products at competitive prices. Being the most advanced and sophisticated retail market across Latin America, the country opens up great opportunities for global players such as Walmart to generate high sales.

In Chile, a quarter of the adult population was obese in 2011. Consumers’ busy lifestyles, resulting in unhealthy eating habits, is a major factor driving the rising obesity levels and hypertension. This has led to a shift in demand for functional foods and health foods that are devoid of artificial ingredients and preservatives. Enhanced product labeling will play a crucial role by providing complete nutritional, ingredient, and calorie information on products to attract health-conscious consumers.

A growing economy and decreasing unemployment rate, combined with an increase in disposable income, has resulted in an increase in demand for consumer goods from Chilean consumers.

With rising consumer awareness, product sustainability has become a major concern for manufacturers, driving innovation in the Chilean packaging industry. For instance, Coca-Cola launched a completely recyclable Plant Bottle TM that has lower carbon footprints than the traditional PET plastic container.
